EXPERIMENT #1

For my first experiment I am planning to create a joiner from my first photoshoot.

First I separated the images I took to create a joiner from the rest of my photos by changing the colour label to blue.

I then edited one image and synchronized the settings so all images were edited the same.

I then exported my images to Adobe photoshoot and made a joiner by clicking merge images and selecting images I wanted in my joiner.

The process was automated so I could not control what the final outcome looked like. I changed the colour of the background (seen below) to black.

The final outcome of this joiner is seen below

I quite like this experiment, especially how detached each image of the coast is, with the biggest image in the middle- drawing attention to it. The angles of the photos are interesting and present almost an optical illusion view contrasted against the sharp, straight lines of the edges of the image.

EXPERIMENT #2

I decided to create another joiner using the same process

This joiner was not as successful as the images separated and just became sharp fragments of pieces of the image.

EXPERIMENTATION #3

Instead of combining multiple images I decided to experiment using one image by changing it into a 3D image to decide if I should create a 3D joiner.

I did this by going on 3D; New mesh from layer; mesh pre-set; sphere where photoshop then merged my image into a sphere.

I then changed the background to black to get rid of the shadow as I believed it looked tacky and too fake.

I quite like this experimentation as the image looks almost like it was taken with a fisheye lens and looks slightly magnified- distorting the structure of the rock which makes the image look more interesting overall. I really like the way the middle of the image looks like a flower as the contrast between

EXPERIMENTATION #4

I wanted to explore by merging images to make a joiner, first I selected some images on Adobe Photoshop and superimposed them on top of each other.

I chose images which had a large contrast between shadows and light areas so the joiner would be more varied in colour

I believe this joiner is not successful as the image is too busy and there is not a large contrast in tones as the textures of the rocks are quite similar, meaning the image looks plain.

FINAL OUTCOMES

Overall I believe the two experiments below are the most successful and I plan to decide between them and display my final choice in an exhibition.
